If you'd like to join the team, or your band wants to play Rochester, let us know! We focus on ska, punk and reggae, but Twitch likes a wide variety of genres and will work with any band he enjoys.

The Rochester Ska Group on MySpace sucks - come play at the 585ska.com forum - it's all new and shiny and needs people to stomp around in the mud and break stuff there!

Frankie's dad has been really weird lately, so we can hardly practice. We should be up and ready for this summer. Ryan bought a drum set for his house so we can actually practice, haha.

Hey Twitch, sorry we couldn't make it on the 19th. We thought for sure we could, but then the show got pushed back a half hour and the other guys were cutting it really close with the parade they had to play in. Hope you didn't lose too much credibility on us cutting the show on such short notice. Summer is coming though and we're all free! Everyone would have been graduating, but then we got 2 new really young kids. Ahh well. 3 months of hot ska fun will be awesome while it lasts.
